SHORT SYNOPSIS:
Wednesday Addams has grown up and fallen in love with a “normal” nice young man. It’s time to introduce the families and, Gomez, Morticia, Fester and the rest of the classically dark and morbid family must alter their behaviors to keep their beloved daughter happy (and her boyfriend’s family intact).

CASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
All ethnicities and gender identities will be considered for all roles.

GOMEZ ADDAMS (M, 40s-60s) The patriarch of the Addams Family - a loving father, a passionate husband, and (possibly) a homicidal maniac. (Vocal Range: Bb2-G4)

MORTICIA ADDAMS (F, late 30s-60s) The mother of the brood and object of Gomez’s adoration. She is a strong matriarch and a beautiful, but potentially dangerous, presence. Strong dance skills a plus. (Vocal Range: G3-Bb5)

UNCLE FESTER (M, 30s-70s) Gomez’s oddly sexless brother. He is in love with the moon (literally). The narrator of the show. Willing to shave head a plus. (Vocal Range: C3-G4)

GRANDMA (F or M, Ancient) The Addams grandmother (unsure what side). Tiny, yet fierce, matriarchal figure, whose witchlike presence creates dire consequences for the families. (Vocal Range: G4-F5)

WEDNESDAY ADDAMS (F, 18-early 20s) The main focus of the love story within the production. She is battling her natural dark nature with the discovery of the brightness of being in love. (Vocal Range: A3-E5)

PUGSLEY ADDAMS (M or F to play Male, Pre-teen to Teenager) Wednesday’s younger brother. Fears losing the torturous relationship he has with his sister. Ideally on the chubby side. (Vocal Range: A3-F5)

LURCH (M, 20s - 80s) The Addams incredibly tall, possibly undead, mostly silent butler. Has very few lines beyond grunts and growls, but does have one solo in the finale. (Vocal Range: Eb2-E4)

LUCAS BEINEKE (M, 20s) Wednesday’s love interest. A good-looking, wealthy, seemingly normal young man who is inexplicably attracted to the dark beauty that is Wednesday. (Vocal Range: C3-C5)

MAL BEINEKE (M, 40s-60s) Lucas’ stuck-up businessman father. Must be able to bring the humor to this humorless banker-type and show the marital love buried deep within his complacency. (Vocal Range: C3-A4)

ALICE BEINEKE (F, 40s-60s) Lucas’ frustrated, yet loving mother. She longs to break the bonds of marital boredom and find passion once more. (Vocal Range: Ab3-G#5)

ADDAMS ANCESTORS (4 M, 4 F) The ensemble for the show. Must have strong vocal and dance skills.
